Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds return to Europe in summer 2026 for a monumental run of outdoor headline shows and festival appearances, beginning on 10 June at Malahide Castle, Ireland, and touring through Germany, Denmark, Czech Republic, Austria, Greece, Italy, Belgium, Portugal, France, UK, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Norway and Lithuania. The run concludes back in France at Rock en Seine festival on 28 August – with further dates to be announced in between. On sale timings and ticket information is available at nickcave.com. The epic season of live dates includes a now sold out 2026 UK-exclusive headline show at Preston Park in Brighton on Friday 31 July. This show isn’t just a tour date, it’s a homecoming. Nick Cave’s connection to the city of Brighton is enduring and unique, making Preston Park 2026 a landmark moment in both the city’s and the band’s history. This run of summer shows follows the success of last year’s critically acclaimed Wild God, a Top 10 hit across several European countries that delivered the sold-out Wild God European Tour, one of the live experiences of 2024. Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds will perform a setlist which takes songs from all four decades of their storied career including Wild God. Renowned for their exhilarating and unforgettable performances, The Bad Seeds are widely regarded as one of the most thrilling live bands in the world. This reputation was solidified in 2024 and 2025 as critics and fans alike were stunned by The Wild God Tour as it travelled through the UK, Europe and North America. The tour comes to Australia in early 2026.
